Wow. I am not much of a tennis fan, but that match was absolutely incredible. I wish every sporting event was like that. The crowd was electric. An all-time great against a wild-card entry. Agassi fell behind two sets to none, and stormed back to force a fifth set. Down a break late in the fifth set, Agassi came back to force a tiebreak. Then, he fell behind AGAIN 3-0 in the tiebreak, and came back and won. That was one of the greatest tennis matches I've ever seen.
 
I stayed up for the match too. Unbelievable game by Agassi down 5-4 in the fifth set. I couldn't help but feel bad for Blake, though.

My wife and I actually got to attend the first day of the Open this year. Very fun experience - in the early rounds you get to see a ton of matches.

Can you drink beer while playing tennis?

Enough said.

Any sport you can drink beer during isn't a real sport.

yeah, real athletes...

Tennis is more of a sport than golf is. Golf is more a skill than a sport. Golf requires absolutely no athletic ability.

I went to sleep after the fourth set. I thought Agassi was beat when he got broken in the third. Blake played the match of his life for 2 1/2 sets, then it seemed as though he actually started to tire.
